What is Twilio Autopilot?

Twilio Autopilot is a conversational AI platform that lets you build voice and messaging bots without extensive coding. It handles customer inquiries across phone, SMS, and web channels by understanding what customers are asking for and routing requests appropriately. The tool is designed for teams that need to automate repetitive customer interactions while maintaining the ability to hand off to human agents when needed. It's useful if you want to reduce support costs and improve response times, though it works best for straightforward queries rather than highly complex conversations.
